I somehow managed to get sleep, I assumed that because I could only remember the time I went to lay on the bed, hopefully I did sleep because I really cannot remember what I did last night. The sun was also shining right through the curtains straight into my eyes, I assume that's the reason I even woke up now. After getting up I strapped the gun holsters back on and then made the bed, then took my stuff and left. On the way I knocked on Joy's door to see if he was awake yet, he was awake and said that the door was open so I went in. Joy was sitting on the bed sharpening all of his knives, even the throwing knives which he had a ton of. On the bed there was this weird grey pile of dust, I looked at it and Joy saw me staring at it, there were many of them around the room.
"Oh those? Those are metal dust piles from the knives, nothing else."
Joy said while sharpening the knife, besides the iron dust piles around the room, it was actually really clean. I put my backpack down and sat down on a chair next to the door.
"When are you done with those?"
I asked, then Joy stopped sharpening the knife and looked at it.
"you're in luck, this one was the last one I was gonna sharpen, so in other words, I'm done."
Joy said and put the knife back into it's sheath and attached it to his belt. He took the dustpan that was next to the drawer and began sweeping the iron dust piles. He had swept all the dust onto the pan but he wasn't sure where to dump them, he was looking around the room and then he chose to bump them out of the window, not a wise move since it was windy and there were people walking right under the window, some even stopped to stare at Joy.
"Um, I think we should leave before they find out who did that."
Joy said and quickly put his coat on, he tried to stuff the knife holster thing into his backpack, I have no clue what it was but it had all of his throwing knifes attached to it. He barely managed to stuff it into his backpack and left then left the room, there still were some signs of the dust piles in the room but we had to leave.

Before leaving we returned the keys to the owner and then we headed out. We weren't quite sure what we were going to do, until Joy stopped for no reason.
"Wait! Isn't the festival held today?"
He shouted and began looking around for a poster about the festival, there was one right Infront of us. He began reading through the poster and it said it was held today, it was being set up at the central of the town currently, I had also forgotten that I even had one of those poster stuffed in my pocket.
"Should we head there? Rather be there too early that late."
Joy asked me and put the poster back to where he took it from.
"Yeah, sure."
I answered and so we began heading to the central of the town, there also were arrow signs pointing towards the central which made it easier to navigate. The town was also really quiet, probably because the people were setting up the festival or getting wasted.
Walking around the town made me realize how big the town actually was, it was bigger than the town we came from, and way more cleaner. The town had a lot of buildings and all sorts of stores that not many towns have, the town was a really special one I guess. I would love to stay here but I have to keep on moving from town to town looking for any Red Skull members, or even leaders to find out where Andy and Rebecca were at.
We knew we were getting closer and closer since there began appearing stalls, they weren't really selling anything interesting, so far they were selling vegetables and books. Even Joy wished that they would sell something interesting or useful, so far no luck.
Eventually we made it to the central part of the town, it was full of people and stalls that still weren't interesting enough to buy anything from. The competition part was still being set up but it was almost finished.
"Let's just roam around freely until it starts, we got nothing else to do."
I said and began walking around, Joy yelled back to me not to drink so I wouldn't fail the drinking competition and then he began wandering around. As I was walking around I was still trying to look for any members of the Red Skulls but I tried my best not to think about it at this time, why would they be here I thought and began looking at the stalls if they got anything worth my time and money.
